Abstract: Abstract Conflict is infused in life. Shrewd politicians use conflict in order to split society, and exert control over citizens. In Caesar’s terms, conflict is used to “divide and conquer” [130]. Conflict also appears as an essential element of a good story (see [17]). In science and engineering, there is frequently the need or desire to partition a space or a network into two parts. In computer science, this is called the divide and conquer algorithm, in reference to Caesar [70]. We harness this notion of partitions, to split social networks along conflict lines.
